Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact amount of the monthly distribution by reviewing Exhibit 99.1 (the Press Release dated December 5, 2018), as the 8-K body does not list the figure.
- Confirm the record date and payment date for the distribution in the attached press release.
- Review the company's most recent 10-Q or 10-K for detailed financial metrics (revenue, NAV, leverage) as this 8-K contains none.
- Note that the filing explicitly disclaims the incorporation of the press release information by reference into Securities Act filings unless specifically referenced.
